Author Christopher McDougall will spend the day at Millburn High School and then run in a charity race with students and community members Thursday afternoon.

Millburn High School students were asked to read “Born to Run,” Christopher McDougall’s best-seller about the Tarahumara Indian runners from Mexico who can run hundreds of miles without rest or injury.

Tomorrow, students and residents will have the chance to run with him.

At McDougall's suggestion, his visit will end with a charity run for all of Millburn.

The 3K charity run, organized by the Sneaker Factory, will begin at 5 at the high school. The race will award the top three male and female finishers overall and in high school, middle school and elementary school categories.

Runners can register before the race at Millburn High School starting at 4 p.m. There will be a community book-singing with McDougall at 6:30 in the high school gym.
